VISITATION RIGHTS, 81min., South Korea
Directed by JuA LEE
‘50% of all marriages end in divorce.’
It’s so true in Korea. Divorce rates are increasing in Korea and around the world. Parents in divorced families with minor children are divided into custodial parent and non-custodial parent. The custodial parent have custody of their child, and non-custodial parent who does not live with the child have the visitation rights to meet their child regularly. However, despite this legal system, it is not easy for non-custodial parents to meet their children in Korean society.

“Your dad(or mom) does not want to see you.”
This is what custodial parents say to their minor children.
The custodial parent dumps their negative feelings for non-custodial parent onto their child. They often forget that minors have the right to be loved and raised by both parents, even if their parents are divorced.
The documentary film ‘Visitation Rights’ is both a story about a non-custodial parent living apart from their child, and it is also about minor child who wants to be loved by both parents. The film shows the complicated situation that arises when non-custodial parents can not meet their children due to the custodial parents’ personal feelings, and the story of minor children suffering from such adult fighting.
As we live in a society where the divorce rate is increasing every year and divorce is no longer considered a drawback, there has to be something we are overlooking. Are minor children from divorced families living with enough love from both parents? What do children who grow up in divorced families think about their parents' divorce? Perhaps the answer to this question can be found in the documentary film ‘Visitation Rights’.
